VERY FINE. AN OUTSTANDING AND VERY RARE BLACK JACK GRILLED ISSUE COVER TO CEYLON, SENT BY BRITISH MAIL VIA SOUTHAMPTON.
This cover was carried on the Allan Line Austrian, which departed from Quebec on July 3, 1869, and arrived in Moville on July 12. It was then carried on Peninsular & Oriental steamers on the regular route from Southampton to Galle, Ceylon. After arriving at Kandy, it was carried further north to Jaffna.
Ex Metzger. With 1990 P.F. certificate which mentions negligible "small creases" in tops of 2c stamps and incorrectly describes a corner perf crease on 24c as "rejoined" -- these nitpicks only serve to emphasize the exceptionally fine condition of this cover. (Image)
